Windows 10: Windows 10 F Drive Full

Windows 10 F Drive Full

Did the update for Windows 10 1803 and now there is a Disk F which seems to be a partition Windows made and it said it is full, but there are no files in it. I had tech support from where I bought the desktop and did a remote but they didn't get rid or fix the problem. Googling it shows it can be dealt with but I never fooled around with the OS. Any help on this would be appreciated

This is a well-documented side-effect for some systems upgraded to 1803. The trick is to unassign the drive letter. If you do that, the disk full reports will no longer be produced. There's a tutorial for that: Remove Drive Letter in Windows 10 | Windows 10 Tutorials. Option 2 is probably what you need to follow.

PS: you might also want to check the partition details for the mysterious new drive. If they don't match these, please post them here and we can follow up with further possible repairs:

Thanks for covering the MBR side of the street, @Bree. All of my machines are GPT/UEFI now, so I don't always stop to recall the other, older way of doing things. Sorry about that! Nice catch on your part.

I just reinstalled Windows 10 a week ago, because I was having all kinds of problems with a black screen. Maybe some of you read my post about my old boot disk coming up blank. But now I have the opposite problem: when I installed Windows 7 the...
